Week 15 Playoff Scenarios

OK, first things first. The shocking news I must convey to Cardinals fans, Browns fans, Lions fans, Texans fans, Raiders fans, Buccaneers fans and Redskins fans, is that you're out. I know, I know. The chance was there, but take it from an old Bengals fan -- there's always next year.

First-Round Bye
San Diego can clinch a first round bye with a win and a Colts loss.

AFC North
Baltimore can clinch the division with a win Sunday against Cleveland AND a Cincinnati loss at Indianapolis.

AFC East
New England can clinch the division with a win Sunday against Houston AND a New York Jets loss at Minnesota.

Indianapolis can clinch the division if Jacksonville loses AT Tennessee. Even if the Colts lose Monday, if Denver loses then the Colts clinch a playoff berth.

AFC West
San Diego has clinched the division.

NFC Homefield Advantage
Chicago can clinch homefield advantage if Chicago wins and New Orleans loses.

NFC First-Round Bye
New Orleans can clinch the second first round bye with a win, a Dallas loss, a New York Giants loss and a Seattle loss.

NFC East
Division can't be clinched.

NFC North
Chicago has clinched the division.

NFC South
New Orleans can clinch the division with a win. If they don't, then if Atlanta and Carolina loses, New Orleans wins the division anyway.

NFC West
Seattle can clinch the division with a win.
